http://daynah.net/2013/04/11/usc/#commentsFri, 12 Apr 2013 06:13:23 +0000http://daynah.net/?p=1241It is with great excitement and at the same time sadness for me to announce that I will be leaving the UCR Libraries. I accepted a job at USC Viterbi College of Engineering as an IT Web and Application Developer.

To my colleagues, I sincerely appreciate having had the opportunity to work with you and have enjoyed my time here at the UCR Libraries.
Thank you for the support, guidance, love, and encouragement you have provided me during my 15 years here. Even though I will miss my colleagues and the Libraries, I am looking forward to the challenges of my position and to starting a new phase in my career.

http://daynah.net/2010/11/15/mobile-library-app/#commentsMon, 15 Nov 2010 09:25:43 +0000http://daynah.net/?p=1038For the past few months, I’ve been working on creating a mobile web app for the UCR Libraries. It was my first real mobile website, and I learned a lot in the process. Sometimes creating a simple-looking website is a lot harder than it seems!
There’s so many things you need to account for, like the sizes of your buttons and action items must accommodate tapping fingers, and the various differences between mobile devices.

I was really passionate about this project because I know how much time I spend on my phone — not talking, but getting work done among other things. There are many times when I get frustrated when I can’t do a simple action on the phone.

The project was well-received and is continually being improved. You can test it out on your mobile smartphone at http://m.library.ucr.edu.

She’s currently doing her Battlefield Tour and did an energetic show in LA last weekend. She’s an amazing performer and I’d like to see her be an actress someday too. The photos were taken for Beatweek Magazine. Here are some of my favorites from the night!

http://daynah.net/2010/06/29/beatweek-magazine/#commentsTue, 29 Jun 2010 17:24:54 +0000http://daynah.net/?p=940I work part-time as a freelance writer for Beatweek Magazine. As Beatweek Magazine’s Senior Editor, I write mostly reviews about iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad apps, iPad accessories, as well as coverage of events and interviews with people in the social media industry. In addition to writing, I also assist the Web Admin (Jason Tucker) and Editor In-Chief (Bill Palmer) with up-keeping the website.

Beatweek is the publication for music, podcasting, iPhone, iPod, iPod, and social media lovers. Publishing as a website since January 2004, Beatweek evolved into a magazine in 2007. Since that time Beatweek Magazine (formerly iProng) has released more than seventy issues whose cover story interviews have ranged from famous musicians (Lady GaGa, Ozzy Osbourne, Katy Perry, Al Green, Weezer, Carlos Santana) to actors (Heroes star Greg Grunberg, Felicia Day) to podcasters (Goodnight Burbank, Doctor Floyd) to famous athletes (Olympic gold medalist Natalie Coughlin).

I was given full control over design and content, and over a few months, this was the result. The site has it’s own mini search engine, staff profiles, internal mailing list (interfaces with Mailman), and a whole lot of new content.
